Hi Miki ...
... the warranty card says it's the reference no. 35752000. I know this exact model was not a limited edition, but not built in large quantities. Later, the optically identical model was presented, albeit with a steel bezel, vs. the white gold one. I think this is one of Omega's most serious handicaps: they are releasing such a vast variety of models, case diameters, and references, all so similar to each other, that for a collector, the brand is not very interesting.
Regarding the strap: Well, I am a strap-O-maniac, and change straps almost weekly. I have the steel bracelet for that watch, but think it is not a very good match for that pseudo-vintage/elegant style. I had a blue and tan gator straps (with white stitching) going with it, but then I saw that new Hirsch strap in the catalogue, and decided to give it a try. In the beginning, I was sceptical, as you are, but after a few days, I more and more like it. It reminds me of shoes from the Thirties, and underlines the watch's vintage character.
Regards,
Marcus
What on your wrist today?
Hey all, It's been a very active work week for me, and I'm glad it's finally Friday!! Here's what I've been wearing for the past 2 weeks. What are you all wearing today? Cheers, Anthony...
The usual. . .
Speedmaster, the Greatest Watch On Earth . No pics at the moment, but then again it's not like anybody doesn't know what it looks like . Jack
I beg to differ Sir.
You can't possibly have the greatest watch on Earth when clearly I do. So there. ;-) I miss my Speedmaster, so I'm kind of glad you didn't post a pic. ;-) Is yours a Moon Watch? It's my fave. Jeff...
LOL, nice, very nice. . .
. . .that's a great looking watch, Jeff- yep, just a bogstandard regular issue 1861, solid caseback Speedy Pro moonwatch. Every now and then I like to sit down after the kids are in bed, pour a tall whisky, put on the Speedy, and watch Apollo 13. Hmmmmm. ...
The same on my wrist ...
Speedmaster at least. Moon watch? Yes, there is a moon onit ... Regards, Marcus...
I think this one has a slightly less cluttered dial :-)
But yours is nice ! Chris ....
Marcus-Please...
Let me know the exact model "Speedo" I'm drooling over. I must admit I wasn't crazy about your strap selection at first, but it keeps growing on me. As always wear it in good health, Miki

As always...
a big help. I have site issues but they are surpassed by my desire to own a "Speedo" as they really speak to me. That being said, I believe that the white face with blue markers and sweeps, especially in the Broad Arrow, will work for me. Additionally I t...
not really surprised although. . .
. . .if anyone I had you of all people figured for a pocket watch guy. You know. . . an 'oh today I just happen to be carrying my Bonniksen karrusel regulated to a maximum positional deviation of 0.0 seconds' kind of guy Jack
Setting false expecations...
I used to wear pocketwatches a lot, but it created too many problems and false expecations, especially when wearing tight jeans... "What IS that bulge and WHY is there a chain...?" "It's a 19 line half-hunter." "Oh my!" Sets false expecations and leads to...
Anthony, it looks great but is it the 210 or 232? Me >>>>
I'm starting off with this combo today...... .....and will swap to this a little later in the day!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Like most days...
my own Nr. 1 (with evidence of last minute practicing for an amateur chamber music weekend tomorrow & Sunday. Anyone who can guess the instrument and composer from that bit is really amasing. Fortunately I'm not just playing that piece.) The picture remin...
Saturday morning in Hong Kong
Orange to give me a kick-start. Have a good weekend all. "> "> "> ">...
That'll wake you up. . .
. . . nothing like a little orange for breakfast looks wonderful, and thanks for the terrific pictures! Jack, a little sad from finding out just as this post went up that his digital camera is dead
Dead as in dead or just lacking energy?
I hope the death of your digital camera is not a fatal condition but rather a question of recharging the battery. Thanks for the kind comments on my watch and pics.
The prognosis is not good. . .
. . . let's just say that integrated circuits and milk don't mix. Jack
That's some serious color coordination...
... that you have got going on there I particularly like the matching stitching in the strap and jacket!
Hey, sweet. . .
. . .came very close to buying one of those myself. One incredible looking watch- very classy! Jack
Thanks Jack, I didn't realize you ...
were a Speedmaster man too! That's what I wear almost every day.
Well, heck, Chris, why wouldn't. . .
. . .anyone wear The Greatest Watch On Earth? Jack
Alternatively the two IWC I wear every other day nt.
sorry for the bad quality of the pictures...
Ah, lovely. Is that the. . .
. . .custom bracelet you were able to get on the Da Vinci? If I remember correctly you had to source a new rose gold bracelet? Two marvelous watches, two of the most enduring and important of all time. I must say though Lord Arran as I know your fondness ...
Man, I miss my DaVinci...........
great pictures, mine was white gold and I think about it every day ! Kurt
Stowa Marine Original ....
From the 1st batch produced late last year , in optional brushed finish . A nice , classical , easy to read weekend watch . Chris ....
Help us out here Chris...
That's a truly lovely piece Chris - 5127 meets 3119. For the 'ignoscenti' amongst us [i.e. me], what's the vintage and the reference? Cheers, pplater.
Started on the PAM 187 - Finished on the Pam 210 - Simona.
